I read somewhere that every room should feature a sculptural element that adds dimension to the space. Does that mean that Michelangelo’s unsheathed schlong should peep out at your guests from the darkened corner of the living room, like a creepy neoclassical sex stalker? Not so much. I also feel that this is inappropriately inflicted on visitors:
There is a worse view, but I’m really too kind to force the full frontal on you. I think the lesson here is to save the kinky stuff for the bedrooms, people. And also that it would be cooler to keep anatomical sculptures above the nipple line. Clothing is nice, too.
Trust — you need a bust. True, the eyes may track your movements across the room, but that’s better than… other things following you.
Karly is going to like this post because she has enough heads to fill a stadium full. Of heads. But not as many as a certain someone else we all know and love:
Kellz is totally into heady tableaux, as seen on her overstaffed dining room table. Click this link to check out more examples of her head games.
Never fear. Despite her best efforts, La Wearstler hasn’t (quite) cornered the market. Busts abound.

I want to live in this room forever and ever, amen. The chairs.. the logs… the windows… the lady head. Yessss.
Now these heads are all well behaved, polite and easy to talk to. But tune in on Wednesday for a collection of busts that belong only in the homes of brave and adventurous people. That means you, right?
I thought so.

Thanks for posting a picture of our living room!

I think I’ve been hypnotized… Anything and everything Abigail Ahern looks like perfection to these eyes. Busts included.
PM, that’s my fave bust, too.
Sherri, I think Eddie’s room is very pretty (Hi, Eddie! Thanks for commenting on our blog…), but I want to live in the Costello room. I think it’s the chair/window/log combo.
Raina, you are THE cool kid, no doubt about it!
Susie, you and I are of the same mine. AA is pretty damn talented.
Busts! Yes! I prefer the more understated ones, but I am def a fan.
I posted that Paul Costello room last month, so maybe I’m the blog buddy you’re thinking of.
yay!! It I love the busts… I know, you know, thanks for the shout out. This post makes me want to start a wearstler-style collection, but I’ll find a more practical place to store them. Maybe on top of the glass and marble console I’m still dreaming about?
Love busts and heads! This makes me so nostalgic for my glass head collections – I used them to display hats and I stored Skittles and bubble gum in them. I wish I hadn’t felt the need to “grow up” and get rid of them. I might have to revisit that…
PS: Totally agree on the full frontal. I have an acquaintance who has a nude statue in her dining room. Ick.
Barchbo, how I have missed you! Sounds like your skittle filled glass heads were amazing…
Cassie, I added your link in. Thanks for the, uh, heads up!
